Genetics
These are the sequences of DNA that code for different traits
What are Genes?
This is the process by which RNA is used to make proteins
What is Translation?
This is an example of a grafted plant
What are Apple Trees, Birch Trees, Tomatoes, Grapes, Roses, Avocados?
This was the type of cancer individuals were being tested for
What is Colorectal Cancer or Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer?
This is the name of the dragon-like creature in Geniverse
What is a Drake?
This is the number of chromosomes in the human genome
What is 46?
This term describes the genotype Hh
What is Heterozygous?
These are the three main types of grafting
What are Whip, Cleft, and Approach grafting?
This is the name for family trees that show how traits are passed down through generations
What is a Pedigree Chart?
This is the room number that our class takes place in
What is ISB 241H?
This diagram is used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring and their probabilities
What is a Punnett Square?
These are the principles of inheritance which explain how traits are passed from parents to offspring (hint: the scientist studied pea plants)
What is Mendelian Genetics?
This is the time of year when plant grafting is typically performed
What is Late Winter or Early Spring?
This is the name of the sugar polysaccharide used to make the gel
What is Agarose?
These are the two teachers who are graduating
Who are Analee and Dhivya?
This describes the flow of genetic information, also known as the Central Dogma
What is DNA → RNA → Protein?
This term describes when both alleles are equally dominant and expressed together (ex: a cat with black and white fur)
What is Codominance?
This plant layer must align for grafting to be successful
What is the Cambium Layer?
This would be the shading of an individual’s icon in an ancestry tree if they were a carrier of the trait
What is Half-Shaded?
These are the ages of all of the teachers
What is Analee (22), Dhivya (21), Aimon (20)?
This law states that the inheritance of genes on one chromosome is not influenced by the inheritance of genes on other chromosomes
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
This is the probability that the offspring of parents with genotypes Hh and hh would be hh
What is 50%
These are the names for the top and bottom parts of a graft
What are the scion (top) and the rootstock (bottom)?
If a patient was determined to have the cancerous allele on both chromosomes, this would be the number of bands that would appear on the gel
What is 2?
In a meme from the Genetics lecture, these four movie characters were crossed in a Punnett square
